OPENING THE SKULL.
Digging a Bullet Out of a Mans
Brain.

New YORK, May 24.-At the battle
of Gettysburg, while bravely leading
his men in that folorn charge on Gene
terry Hill, Col. Henry Pickens, of Lex
ington, KY, received a bullet in his
brain. He recovered, but at times suf-
fered great pain. About two months
ago a man fell senseless on Broadway.
He was carried to Bellevue hospital,
but nothing was found to identify him.
AS DIR. Parker was bandaging his head,
injured by the fall, he noticed q scar,
and pressing it, found an indentatioH in
the skull. This gave rise to the idea
that the man was not dying from the
effects of the fall alone, but the shock
caused the old wound, whatever it was,
to obstruct the action of the brain. No
one knew the man or what the injury
of the skull was, and experiments were
the only means of determining. 1t
was noticed that the patients left arm
was paralyzed, hence it was concluded
that the right upper side of the brain
was affected. 1t was decided to operate
on this unknown person for the benefit
of science, and to open the brain. The
scalp was dissected and an opening
made in the skull near the top, but the
brain which came up through the hole
presented normal appearance. With
the finger the surgeon detected hard
substance and the removal of more
bone disclosed q tumor. Delicately the
knife was sunk into the brain an
inch and half and the entire tumor
removed. The hemorrhage was soon
stopped, the bones put back, and the
skin placed in position. On opening
the tumor large revolver bullet, much
fiattened, was found. The patient lin
gered many days between life and death
and after four weeks became conscious
for the first time. Last week, Col.
Pickens went home, sound in mind and
body, and in his pocket he bore the
bullet which he so long carried in his
brain.

Aston ishine Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has used
Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without inn
mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 60, 600
dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such a
medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too
widely known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Reg
ular size, 75 cents. Sold by all druggists and
dealers in the United States and Canada.

An exchange says: "The other night
a novel game was played on Conductor
Harris, of the down fast Georgian Rail-
road train. When the train stopped at
Union Point, Captain Harris noticed
two negro women get aboard, and one
of them was dressed in loose Mother
Hubbard. When he went through the
car he failed to find one of the women,
and on questioning the negro she said
that somebody had snatched the other
girls ticket away, and she had to get
off. The Captain did not suspect any,
thing wrong, but when the train reach
ed Barnett the missing woman came
from under the Mother Hubbard of her
companion, and got off unnoticed by
the conductor, but to the amusement
of the other passengers who saw her
when she made good her exit from
under the expressly loose made dress.

The demand for Mrs. Cleveland's
photograph is as active as it was the
time that lady first entered the White
House as its mistress. The photog-
rapher who persuaded her to give him
sittings for 25 negatives last summer
has sold over so, 900 and is still printing
them at the rate of 200 day. He
thinks that when the full year Of sales
is up 100000 of his pictures will be
sold. The net profit for the first eight
months otter the negatives were taken
was $7,O0O-almost as much as the
President received for a years service
as Governor of New York. What por-
tion of this goes to Mrs. Cleveland, il
any, the photographer omits to men,
tion, but man shrewd enough to Sc
cure the sittings would not be ant to
overlook the matter of caring for most
of the profits himself.

Wealth of the Presidents.

Pierce left $4,000 and had no one to
inherit it.
James Monroe died in New York in
solvent.
Buchanan left over $25O,OOO to his
nephews and nieces.
Martin Van Buren, did not save much
out of his salary, but left $500, 900.
Adams was poor, but by his wise,
able management he never suffered
want.
Fillmore left the White House poor
man but by second marriage became
wealthy.
james X. Polk left about $150,000.
AS he had no children Mrs. Polk re-
ceived it all.
OF the earlier Presidents Washington
was the wealthiest. At his death his
estates was valued at S300,000.
When Jefferson entered the White
House he was wealthy man, but he
lost all his property and died insolvent.
John Tyler went to the White House
a poor man, but he managed to save
enough out of his salary to live in COM
fort. -.
President Arthur was a very high
feeder and spent great deal of money
on his table, but he managed to save
about 100000.
Andrew Jackson was counted rich
man in his day. The Hermitage, which
he left to his adopted son, is now the
property ofthe State.
When Andrew johnson left the
White House he had about $150, 900, a
good deal ofwhich was lost by the fail
ure of the Feedmen's bank.
Mrs. Hayes ran the financial end of
the house during Hayes's administra-
ton, and that she is a financier Is
proved by the amount saved out of his
salary.
Garfield was not in office long enough
to save much money. He left about
$40, 900, and the gifts Mrs. Garfield has
received have made her wealthy wo-
man.
Madison was q wealthy man when
he became President, and left a hand
some estate, which Mrs. Madison's son,
Payne Todd, squandered and left her a
poor woman.
Grant never saved much of his sal
ary, but the generous gifts of his
friends made him independent. He
lost his all in the Grant-Ward failure.
The sale of his book has placed his wife
in an affluent position again.
1t is not improbable that Grover
Cleveland may 90 out of the White
House with about 100000. If he does
it will put him just about on par in
the matter of wealth with the average
retiring President. AS a rule the aver
age Presidents not much of a financier.
and if he accumulates wealth it is be-
cause it gravitates toward him by the
attraction of high position.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.
The First Successful Negro-Democ-
racy on Top.


RICHMOND, Va, May 2S.-Returns
from the county and town elections
show that both parties held their own
pretty well. In Shenandoah, Senator
Riddleberger's home county, the Demo-
Gratis made clean sweep. In Norfolk
county the Republican straight ticket
is elected by large majority over the
fusion ticket. Asbury (colored) is
elected commonwealth's attorney,
which is said to be the first time III t the
history of the State that colored man
has been elected to this office. Ports
mouth City elected the Democratic
ticket by large majority over the
Labor ticket. In Augusta and Freder-
ick counties, the Republicans carried
some minor offices, but the general
Democratic ticket was successful.

Business Booming.

sist in saying it is dull season,
it's patent to all that we. are do
ing a rushing business: 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the ''Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
1t has always been the aim
of J. G. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch.
man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur' s
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor.
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth.
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock of Wall
Paper in this section of country
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities:
and always gives his customers
the benefit of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at
1t is indeed astonishing that
such a small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and add
so much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia-
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and
his stock consists of all.varieties
and colors, ready mixed or not,
just to suit yourselves. This is
the time of the year to do paint
ing and those contemplating
"fixing up" little. this spring
should come in and see Saur
and his immense stock of Paints
and Oils. He has also a full
stock Of Brushes, Of all sizes and
for all uses. il9 }1tff'iIl
The "Little Dutchman' s"
Book department. is a marvel,
and needs only to be examined
to stamp wonder upon the coun-
tenances Of all-for he sells
them 50 cheap, almost giving
away some Of them.

AN ANARCHISTS BREAK.

Attended an Injured Patient.


Attended an Injured Patient.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 6.-Early this even
ing, Thirty-frst street horse-car ran over
a boy seven years of age, crushing one leg
at the knee and mangling the other so
much that amputation may be necessary.
He was taken to his home on Butler
street, and DR.. w. n. Williams summoned
by the street railway company. DR.. Will
liams answered the call, and his expert
ence with Frank Mock, the father of the
boy, who is rank anarchist, was g novel
one. Mock works at the stock yards,
and there heard that Capitalistic street
car had run over his son, and that
Capitalistic doctor was going to
cut the boys leg off. Rushing
to his house he found the doctor just am
putating the leg. Mock ran into his
bedroom, and coming out covered the
doctor with an oId-fashiOned gun, nearly
eight feet long, which he had brought
with him from Prague when he came to
this country. Then, with his finger on
the trigger, he ordered the doctor to clear
out. The physician did so, going through
a window in his haste. After a time he
went back to the house with three more
doctors and several neighbOrs. The ter
rible sufferings of the boy had changed
the fathers views somewhat, and after a
little argument he withdrew his OppOsi-
ton, and the leg was removed.

The New County Maps.

A reporter yesterday saw the new
maps which are being prepared for the
County Assessors office. The work is
being done by w. A. j.. Smith, assisted
by Paul Riecker and John Stengle, and
is being performed in an excellent and
thorough manner. This work will,
when completed, form one of the most
valuable records which the county pos
sesses, and will compare favorably with
those in San Francisco and Oakland.
Many valuable pieces of land which
have heretofore escaped taxation for
want of information, will, under this
system, pay their just share of the gen.
eral tax, in addition to which every
properly owner will be able to locate
exactly every piece of land of which he
is possessed. The scale adopted is large
en- ugh to allow the entering for each
year of the amount for which each
piece is assessed, and the changes thus
noted will help to equalize taxation in
this county to such an extent that it will
be impossible in future that property of
the same intrinsic value will represent
different values on the tax list. Mr..
Mason, the County Assessor, deserves
great credit for the energy which he has
displayed in inaugurating this system.
